It is not about ‘feeling’ the Lord’s presence. He does not say, “You will always FEEL my presence.” He says, only, ‘I am always with you.’ Feelings come and go — ‘a bit of gristle’ as Scrooge says. Better to take charge of your will and act appropriately.

Just as the earth has seasons, so does prayer. Winter feels cold and fallow but is as important to the fertility and growth of some seed as summer is.
